I can confirm this bug with firefox 2.0.0.4+1-0ubuntu1, the cpu utilization goes up to 30% on an Athlon 64 3200+, mostly in the Xorg process.
It happens only rarely for me with overloaded web servers that apparently send no data at all. The effect is reproducible locally using a fifo file: Run mkfifo test.html cat > test.html in a terminal, leave the terminal open, and load the fifo as a local file in firefox. -- [feisty] 50% of cpu when a page is waiting to load https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
